Community Concerns

Neighbour-to-Neighbour Issues

These are personal matters that should first be addressed through respectful conversation:

• Noise between set quiet hours (e.g. music, parties)
• Fence disagreements (placement, maintenance, etc.)
• Tree branches overhanging property lines
• Parking in front of homes (unless violating specific bylaws)
• Pets on private property (unless aggressive or creating a repeated nuisance)

Tip: Most of these can be resolved with a friendly conversation before involving the Town.

 Town-Related Concerns

These are issues that fall under Town bylaws and regulations. Please contact the Town Office if you have concerns about:

• Nuisance properties (e.g. excessive junk, uncut grass, unsafe structures)
• Unlicensed or derelict vehicles on private property
• Excessive noise during quiet hours, or frequent disturbances
• Animal control (e.g. stray, aggressive, or excessive number of pets)
• Parking violations or blocking of driveways/alleys
• Untidy or unsightly yards that may affect public health or safety
• Burning complaints, illegal fires, or smoke nuisances
